Prosthetic Care

|
Innovative prosthetic care can help you reach your goals. One in every 190 Americans currently lives with a lost limb. But the person you generally see in televised breakthroughs is actually the exception when it comes to amputees. Only about 15% of amputees are trauma victims and cancer survivors—these are the types of patients who most often make good candidates for high-tech prostheses. About 80% of amputations are due to vascular diseases like diabetes, who often can benefit from simpler, lower cost technology. We understand that the most important aspect of prosthetic care is not the gadgetry or fancy technology of the prosthesis — but understanding each patient, their goals, and what will make them the most independent and functional in their daily lives. |
